Chapter 1204 The Harry Potter crew had an accident
After everyone left, the crescent moon was like water in the sky. Walking on the road in Hollywood, I looked up at the stars. The moon in foreign countries seemed not as round as in China, and there was more loneliness. Is there anything difficult at home?
I won't have such lonely thoughts.
Ye Ming thought for a while, it was time to go home. It would take a day or two to negotiate the cooperation with Cameron this time. After all, there were some details to discuss, but the rest should be gone home. The rest
It's not that big of a deal anymore.
This film festival at the Golden Globe Awards is actually just for mutual exchanges. The rest is nothing important. It is not the Golden Globe Awards itself, so there is nothing worthy of attention.
Therefore, Ye Ming was thinking that it might be a good choice to go home at this time. At this time, Ye Ming began to think of people and things in China.
Chen Xi from Hong Kong City, Huihuang Film and Television from Beijing, and his group of people are now probably able to stand alone. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming can feel free to go out and do what he wants to do.
.
Is it just that Hollywood really recognizes him now? This may be impossible. Ye Ming clearly feels the distance between Hollywood and him.
In terms of capital, Ye Ming can crush many Hollywood stars, but in terms of acting skills, Ye Ming has not been recognized by more people.
Although Ye Ming also acted in movies such as Minority Report and The Day After Tomorrow, these were all supporting roles, especially in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Ye Ming just played a homeless man, and he didn't even have a name.
.
Therefore, to say that Hollywood has truly recognized his acting skills, Ye Ming does not believe it at all. After all, on a question like this, if you want to talk about acting skills or not, this needs to be recognized from the movie.
.
Ye Ming must be starring in a top Hollywood production, which does not necessarily mean being a male pig, but at least being a supporting actor. The supporting actor Oscar only gave Ye Ming the right to enter Hollywood.
In such a situation, if you want to be truly recognized by Hollywood, you must have a Hollywood work. In Hollywood, everything is based on the box office. If you have the box office, you will be recognized. If you
If your box office can crush everything else, then you are the boss. For example, Cameron, Spielberg, etc. are all the bosses in their respective fields.
Under normal circumstances, if a foreigner wants to be recognized by Hollywood, he must pass three levels. One is to be grabbed by newcomers. If he cannot survive the wall of newcomers, he will leave directly. The second is to be a stabilizer.
Once you pass the newcomer wall, you are only qualified to stay in Hollywood.
As for the stable period, this means that you have to be the leading star in at least three consecutive movies, or the A-level Hollywood movies you are starring in have your role in them, and the box office of these three movies cannot be too bad, at least they must be profitable.
, after passing these two levels, if your acting skills are outstanding and you can play a leading role, you can lead a starring role in a movie. This is the third step.
The box office, the billions in box office, is the hallmark of Hollywood's gods. If you want to enter the status of a god like the 20 million salary club, you must first have a box office of hundreds of millions as a starting point. Remember, this is just a starting point. If
It means that if you want something else, you must continue to work hard.
For ordinary people, it takes ten years to hone themselves to complete the first two levels. But if you pass the first two levels, it can at most be said that you are an actor suitable for working in Hollywood, but you may not necessarily be.
To be successful in Hollywood means that you are qualified to star in A-level movies.
This will take at least five or six years. But if you want to become famous and have everyone remember you, and let your box office speak for itself, then you must pass the third level.
In the third level, ordinary people do not have such qualifications.
Ye Ming is relatively lucky. He can pass the first two hurdles. One is because there is a company that can help, and the other is that he is a billionaire himself. This is still rare in Hollywood. If he has money, he can show it wherever he goes.
The kind that has momentum.
But this only means that Ye Ming can escape the first two hurdles and have the opportunity to star in a Hollywood A-level production in less time.
Hollywood is still a bit incompatible with him. The key is that he has no outstanding works. Whether it is "No One Less" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", speaking of which, they are all Chinese works. The honors received by these works are not important enough. Ye Ming
To really get recognition from Hollywood, there must be enough Hollywood works.
Therefore, thinking of this, Ye Ming felt that he needed to go back and calm down, waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky. Are there any top-notch movies in Hollywood in the near future? It seems that there are no classic works, so,
When Ye Ming thought of this, he also had the intention of going back. In such a situation, no matter how you put it, this matter has a certain degree of chance.
Going back and waiting may be the best result. Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming, and Ye Ming doesn’t want to stay here. After all, the Chinese New Year means that only in China can we have the Chinese New Year atmosphere. If it is abroad, even in Chinatown
, but it didn’t have that kind of eye-catching atmosphere. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming had plans to go back.
But the thing is not that he wants to go back, he can go back immediately. Ben
I thought that there wasn't much going on in Hollywood. I signed a contract with Cameron and participated in the Golden Globe Film Festival. But under such a situation, at this time, it seemed that nothing could make Luo Tian stay.
Came down.
However, something happened again at Warner Brothers, and the matter was quite serious. At this time, Ai Qiuhua and two other people from Columbus came to find Ye Ming in person.
When Ye Ming saw the appearance of the two people, his heart suddenly sank. It seemed that it was not a good thing to let these two people come to him. At this time, Ye Ming had an unknown premonition. It seemed that this time he wanted to
It is impossible to go back.
If someone from Warner Brothers comes, and these two people come, there must be a possibility, that is, it is related to Harry Potter. The only way to get these two people to come is this.
He, Ai Qiuhua and Columbus are all acquaintances, and they are easy to talk to among acquaintances.
Ye Ming glanced at the two of them and said, "You two came at the right time. If you came an hour late, then I think I have already entered the airport and will probably take a flight soon."
Columbus said helplessly: "Ye, something happened, something that no one wants to see. Don't say you were at the airport, even if you were on the plane, you would probably ask for it after hearing the news.
Came back.
This matter is a very troublesome matter for our crew, Warner Bros., and even you." Columbus has now begun to complain.
Ye Ming said unceremoniously: "Columbus, don't do this with me. Now that I think about it, what have I been doing since I came? At the beginning, everyone cooperated quite happily. Harry Potter and Magic
I also participated in Shi's selection of roles, and I also provided some suggestions and help.
I think this is a good thing, but what happened to you later? You didn’t take me seriously at all. It was like a premiere. I, the copyright holder, was not a guest. Why didn’t you invite me?
Ordinarily, at this time, even if I don't sign the second part to you, it doesn't matter. According to the contract, after all, it means that you are not kind, but at this time, I also think, if it is done in this way, then
In this matter, I am not being kind. After all, so many viewers like to watch Harry Potter. It would not be good if the actors were returned and the director was changed. You said, if I really wanted to change, I could change it.
?"
These words left Columbus with no room for an answer. Yes, what Warner Brothers did in this matter was indeed a bit unkind. After all, it meant that in such a matter, Warner did not regard Ye Ming as the same thing at all.
, thinking that just making money is enough.
Columbus didn't say anything. Ye Ming thought about it and said: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. After all, I am just a copyright owner. I don't have any objection to whether you want to ask me or not, but you still encourage me. Rowling wants to talk to me."
The showdown is to take back the copyright of Harry Potter. If my lawyer is not quite capable, then you may be able to succeed in a matter like this. Isn't this the truth?"
The last time Rowling made a fuss, it would be strange if there was no shadow of Warner Bros. behind it. In fact, this was directly planned by Warner Bros. But in the end, Ye Ming was also superior in skills, so we really can't file a lawsuit.
That’s it.
Therefore, under such a situation, Warner has ceased operations. After all, Ye Ming is the real copyright owner of Harry Potter. Therefore, when it comes to such an issue, he has the active advantage at this time.
Columbus glanced at Ai Qiuhua, which meant asking for help. Ye Ming's words are not something that can be answered simply. Columbus is just a director, so in such a matter, some things cannot be said.
He can do it himself. On this point, at this time, Ai Qiuhua's role can be seen.
Ai Qiuhua took the words and said: "Mr. Ye, in fact, the reason why we came to you this time is related to copyright. Such a matter has caused some changes, some changes that are beyond our control. Rowling regretted it again
.”
Ye Ming was stunned after hearing this. This matter was very interesting. Luo Lin regretted it again.
At this time, Ye Ming said curiously: "Why did Luo Lin go back on her word again? I remember what happened last time. Didn't everyone say that an agreement had been reached, and the author should not be given a penny less. At this time, they
What do you think? Does it mean that if you want more, they are not afraid of a lawsuit?"
Yes, didn’t I say that we had already negotiated the deal last time and that we had no regrets about it?
Ai Qiuhua immediately said: "That's the problem. She really regretted it. I originally thought she wouldn't. She had already handed in the manuscript of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, so we thought it was nothing serious.
It's a question, but the key point is that it doesn't matter what we say at this time, this matter is still Rowling's own idea. If he has any ideas, then there is no way we can do anything about such a matter.
May be useful.
The key is that we told her personally that she had the right to go back on her word, and her right to go back on her word was her manuscript. Originally, she planned to publish the manuscript as soon as possible, but our lawyer told her that if she wanted to seize the initiative,
To fight you, just don’t publish so many books first, so now there are only two Harry Potter books published. I don’t know if she didn’t write the remaining manuscripts, or she did write them, but had no intention of publishing them.”
This point made Ai Xiuhua very depressed. After all, it was said that Warner Brothers was responsible for such a matter. However, regarding such a problem, Rowling used the method Warner Brothers told her.
Calculating Time Warner, such a thing is a tragedy, a tragedy for Chi Guoguo.
Ye Ming pondered for a moment. He didn't expect Rowling to do this. He also had some hatred for the guys at Warner Bros.: "Are your leaders all idiots? Are they all brainwashed?
?
Things like this can be done. Regarding this issue, no matter how you say it, you and I are on the same front. This is what I said and authorized you to film the second part.
Reason, but how did you do it? You people actually said that you would do this, and now that you can't handle the matter, you actually said that you came directly to the door. What do you want me to do about this matter?
Woolen cloth?"
Ai Qiuhua immediately said: "We are here to find you and want to discuss with you what to do next. After all, what Rowling did is harm our interests, right?
"
This is true. From this point of view, Rowling did not act kindly. In this matter of making money, she was not given a penny less. She was absolutely given what was supposed to be given according to the contract.
But on such a matter, Rowling still did this, and it seemed that she had a direct intention to take back Harry Potter.
For this reason, they actually said they would delay the publication of Harry Potter. It has to be said that this move also hit Warner Bros.'s weakness.
It's just that at this time, Luo Lin always plays like this. In Ye Ming's opinion, it is a bit unkind. Everyone has signed a contract, so going back on it like this is indeed very unkind.
